When you kill a thread, should you

send a note of apology to the OP? I always feel so bad.

I think flowers or a donation in the OP's name to the "American Thread Killers Society" would be appropriate.

Just hang your head in shame and wallow in self pity. But remember you're not alone....We've all done it!

What does "kill a thread" mean exactly? Are they the "naughty" posters who get the thread locked? Or do they just post something & nobody else posts behind?

This is it. And by definition then, EVERY thread eventually has a thread killer. But sometimes, it seems that a post leads to a premature death.

How about if I just leave a blanket apology here?

To all those who have had a thread killed by me and to all those who will in the future, I apologize.

*whew* I feel much better now.

Funny...........when my posts die, I don't assume that anyone 'killed' them. I just figure I'm not all that interesting !

I tend to kill my own threads more than anyone elses.

You know....at first I took it personally and figured that you guys just didn't like me, so you didn't post after me. Then, I got to thinking....it's not that you don't like me, it's just that whatever I have to say is the best response there could be, so there is no need to post after me Then again, maybe not.

Thread killing is a great hobby. It requires no special skills, just bad luck.

AAAHHH...Now I know what a thread killer is.

I feel the same way too. I feel that my post was not interesting at all so they don't bother to add anymore to the thread.

Oh...I do this a lot! I kill my own thread!

DITTO.

Actually, I have felt that way on several threads lately,even the ones I have had no hand in killing.
Kind of gives a girl a complex

Can I nominate a "been on the front page for two weeks and is nothing but arguments" thread that I'd love to kill?

Oooo, I hadn't thought of that. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to intentionally kill a thread? The power would be so heady!

Peg, I've learned one thing yesterday, when you kill a thread you get labeled. Labeled as a person who can't behave so the thread has to be closed by a higher authority.

Goofy4Tink:

That's exactly how I feel when a thread I post on gets no more responses Our common sense, logical and witty ways of responding leave everyone else speechless.
